It’s another Fun Fold Friday…..or is it??? Today’s card looks like it has a fun fold….but it’s actually just a Fake Fold (or also called by it’s real name – The Front Pocket Card). There is no special fold, just a playing tricks with your eyes kind of fake fold. Here it is:
Doesn’t it look like the two diagonal pieces on the front fold over on top of one another? Well….they don’t. It just looks like they do. What they do do is form a pocket so you can put a little pull out card inside. It can be used as a mini bookmark. It can even be recycled as a gift tag on a present.
Two Triangle pieces of the Perenial Essence Designer Series Paper are attached to the front of the card using Tear ‘n Tape along the outside edges. This forms a “pocket” on the front of the card — perfect for sliding in a small card.
The stamp set that I used is called Floral Essence. There is a matching Perennial Flower Punch to cut out the flower. And as a added bonus, the leaves can be punched out with the Leaf Punch.

- Floral Essence Stamp Set
- Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper
